AJF Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 In what many will see as good news, Lundstram hasn't travelled with the squad for tomorrow's match. I'd expect to see Cifuentes in there again if he is sharp enough for two matches within 4 days. I also wonder if Beale will be tempted to throw in Matondo after his pretty impressive cameo on Saturday. I expect that we will probably come under a bit of pressure so his inclusion may give us more width and a fast out ball option for counter attacks to get us up the pitch quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Lundstram, he can be a good option if we are looking for someone to shield the back 4, but he can take all the momentum out of a move going forward sometimes. I think that with the players we have brought in we should be seeing him used less than he has been. If someone was to attempt to take him before the window shut I don't imagine we would be too hard to deal with. edit: This is on the assumption that Jack stays relatively injury free. So probably another 40+ game season for big John then..... Edited August 15, 2023 by KnightswoodBear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think squad depth is going to be important so I’d like to see him stay. Particularly if/when Kamara goes we will be a midfielder down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think Matondo was in our Euro squad currently but could be wrong. Looking forward to this one tonight, hoping we can build some momentum here even though I really can't see us getting past the next round either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara to Leeds? think I seen that reported? should get a bit of cash at least for a player who is clearly not in the plans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Roofe was omitted but hadn’t seen Matondo wasn’t in it either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbix Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Raskin and Cifuentes as the two with four from Danilo/Sima/Cantwell/Dessers and Lammers? Could see Hagi being useful later on as well, he’s made for European games with that extra second of space and need for control on the ball. Dunno if he’s in the match day squad mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Lammers and Dessers drop to the bench. Could be a 4-3-1-2 with Cantwell dropping in behind Sima and Danilo? Or do we think it’ll be our more usual 4-3-3 with Cantwell moved up one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepundit Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Think we’ll be okay this evening but tbh I’d rather not qualify for the CL and get annihilated 6 games in a row… Give us a run in the Europa or Conference League where we might actually get some enjoyment out of it…. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
